Climbing from the Cellar

Playing a little catch-up.  Haven't heard from Discord on the Michigan map, but maybe he's been sick like me.  Granted, the development of two 20-mile hexes isn't that impressive.  It's only a start.  It has to be expanded, bit by bit, like the original stub that was Kronstadt once upon a time.

The offer is still open to any of my $10 patrons, though I'm resisting putting the offer on patreon itself for the time being.  I believe I'll limit those patrons to one "start" per person.  I just can't keep up with having a single patron hopping around the globe, having me do tiny parts of Africa, India, South America and so on.  After creating a stub somewhere, I have no problem building on it; the work's been done for the next section over just as it has for the starting parts.  Once I've investigated into Michigan, Maine or someplace else, it's easy to keep going from there.

I may try to work a bit on the Crimean map today, but writing three paragraphs has me bursting into a sweat ... which isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Trust me when I say that the time I've spent on my back the last three days has been used to design the bailey and fishing hamlets, and various facilities, in my head, though I haven't had the strength to write down anything.  I've even had to ask for time off work.  Happy to say I turned the corner last night, though I'm weak as a kitten today.

Until tomorrow.

  1. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. It's definitely not a fun experience to have, so here's hoping you don't have any lingering effects.

    The map looks great, and I'm very excited about using it / having you expand it next month.
